Chemical composition and biological activities of whole and dehulled hemp (Cann...
Alonso-Esteban, José Ignacio; Pinela, José; Ćirić, Ana; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Soković, Marina; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Barros, LillianThis study aimed to determine a complete chemical composition of eight different varieties of whole hemp seeds and eight samples of commercial dehulled hemp seeds. We also evaluated the phenolic profiles and antioxidant, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial properties of hydromethanolic seed extracts. Whole hemp seeds contain much more fibre than dehulled hemp seeds, which contain more fat and protein. Sucrose and raff...
Phenolic and bioactive profile of Impatiens genus flowers in the search for a p...
Pires Junior, Eleomar de O.; Pereira, Eliana; Pereira, Carla; Dias, Maria Inês; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Ćirić, Ana; Soković, Marina; Garcia, Carolina C.Flowers of the genus Impatiens are widely used for ornamental purposes in landscaping and decorative projects. Despite being edible matrices, their use in food applications is not yet a common practice1. The attractive colours of their petals are characteristic of these flowers, which have attracted significant interest from the food industry due to their colouring properties2. The association of adverse effect...
Chemical composition and bioactive characterisation of Impatiens walleriana
Pires Junior, Eleomar de O.; Pereira, Eliana; Pereira, Carla; Dias, Maria Inês; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Ćirić, Ana; Soković, Marina; Hassemer, GustavoThe attractive colour characteristics of the flowers of the species Impatiens walleriana have been arousing great interest in the food industry, which is looking for potential natural sources of colouring ingredients. In this sense, the present work focused on the chemical and bioactive characterization of pink and orange flowers of I. walleriana. The phenolic compounds were determined by HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS; in ad...
Study on the potential application of Impatiens balsamina l. flowers extract as...
Pires Junior, Eleomar de O.; Pereira, Eliana; Carocho, Márcio; Pereira, Carla; Dias, Maria Inês; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Ćirić, Ana; Soković, MarinaFlowers of the genus Impatiens are classified as edible; however, their inclusion in the human diet is not yet a common practice. Its attractive colours have stirred great interest by the food industry. In this sense, rose (BP) and orange (BO) I. balsamina flowers were nutritionally studied, followed by an in-depth chemical study profile. The non-anthocyanin and anthocyanin profiles of extracts of both flower v...
Tomato plant biomass: from agricultural by- products to bioactive extracts with...
Pinela, José; Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Ćirić, Ana; Rocha, Filomena; Barata, Ana Maria; Soković, Marina; Carvalho, Ana Maria; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Tomatoes are highly consumed worldwide and their annual production generates a significant amount of plant by-products, especially aerial biomass. Although tomatoes are well-known for their nutritional composition and health-promoting effects [1], little information is available in the literature on the plant remains of this crop. Therefore, considering the substantial availability of this natural resource and ...
Compositional features and biological activities of wild and commercial Moringa...
Fernandes, Ângela; Liberal, Ângela; Pinela, José; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Bancessi, Aducabe; Ćirić, Ana; Soković, Marina; Catarino, LuísMoringa oleifera Lam. is a nutraceutical edible plant used to fight malnutrition in developing countries. This investigation describes the nutritional, chemical and bioactive assets of wild and commercially acquired M. oleifera leaves from Guinea-Bissau. Both samples presented significant differences in the contents of almost all the analysed parameters. Carbohydrates and proteins were the major constituents of...
Flor de Aloe vera como fonte de compostos bioativos para a indústria cosmética
Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Pinela, José; Ćirić, Ana; Mocan, Andrei; Ferreira, Olga; Barros, Lillian; Soković, Marina; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.A folha de Aloe vera tem sido alvo de vários estudos científicos que pretendem caracterizar aspeto composicionais e propriedades biológicas [1-3]. No entanto, a flor (Fig. 1) desta planta medicina permanece uma parte ainda pouco explorada. Visando a prospecção de fotoquímicos bioativos nesta matriz vegetal, este estudo teve como objetivo a análise de compostos fenólicos e a avaliação in vitro da atividade antio...
Chemical composition and biological properties of Pelargonium graveolens, Lepto...
Nikolić, Miloš; Marković, Tatjana; Marković, Dejan; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Fernandes, Ângela; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Stojković, Dejan; Ćirić, AnaChemical composition of the essential oils (EO) of Pelargonium graveolens, Leptospermum petersonii and Cymbopogon martinii var. motia, and the absolute of Rosa centifolia and their bioactivity were examined. Major compounds in P. graveolens EO were monoterpene alcohols citronellol, geraniol and linalool; in L. petersonii EO monoterpene aldehydes geranial, neral and citronellal; in C. martiniii var. motia EO mon...

Table tomato leaves are a sustainable source of rutin and display antioxidant, ...
Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Pinela, José; Ćirić, Ana; Rocha, Filomena; Barata, Ana Maria; Soković, Marina; Carvalho, Ana Maria; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Table tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is highly consumed worldwide and its annual production generates a considerable amount of plant by-products [1]. Although tomatoes are well-known for their composition in nutrients and bioactive compounds [2,3], little information is available in literature regarding tomato leaves, probably because these by-products have no commercial value. Therefore, considering the enor...
